NXPowerLite for File Servers can skip files for a variety of reasons. These reasons will appear in the report as per the image below, but what if you want to find out which specific files make up each category.
NXPowerLite for File Servers keeps track of each file it has seen before, regardless of whether it has been successfully or not successfully compressed. It stores this information in a database stored alongside the configuration files. It is possible to query the database in order to find out which files fall into specific categories of skipped files.
